So I am STILL looking for a CP Lady Jaye (or at least a CP Lady Jaye head) if anyone's willing to help out a very unlucky customizer...



Hi Jay,

In regards to your CP Lady Jaye mishap.

Something to use for paint removal that is little known is fingernail polish. Put a small amount of polish on the paint spot you want to remove. Wipe it off with a rag after about 5 seconds--before it dries. It should take off one layer of paint, without damaging the layer below.

I took off the camo off my v1 Tunnel Rat that way. It took off the factory paint apps without messing with the color of his skin below. (Not sure why I did that back in the day, but I'm sure I had a reason.)

My brother painted a hot wheels car once and I got back to the original paint job with this technique.

It's not guaranteed, but it's worth a shot, and better than just chucking away the head (or dealing with Lady Jaye with 5 o'clock shadow). Let me know if it works for you.

Joe
